Fall


It's officially fall here in the Coop. Even though summer is over I've still been incredibly busy. Luckily i haven't been working as much but, between the Hall, the 'Coach and taking pictures all the time, i have been up to my ears. This is the 'fest' time of the year. We've had garlic fest, apple fest, TRACToR fest (we have plenty of rednecks here too), and this past weekend was pumpkin fest. Last weekend James and I were part of the live entertainment at apple Fest. It was a lot of fun, we only played for about and hour and got a gift certificate to one of our favorite restaraunts.
As i said this past weekend was the PUMPKIN festival. It was pretty interesting actually, there were pumpkin races ( this is where grown men and women decide to hollow out pumpkins, paint them and RACE them across the lake) that's right. There were also tons of yummy pumpkin treats and some of the biggest pumpkins I have ever seen in my life. ( one was almost the size of the car) Of course when they are that big, they more resemble a large orange-ribbed blob with a stem.

As for everything else, I am ready for a break. I really miss my family. The next few weeks can't go by fast enough for me. In 3 weeks i get to go to Dallas to see my brother and his wife, oh and of course my nephew Noah!!!!!! I miss them so much it hurts right now. There is no one in life that can ever fill the place of family. As much as I love my good friends here, I miss my family ALL THE TIME! I know that someday we'll be closer, but for now we have to settle for thrice yearly visits and SKYPE. Honestly without it, James and I probably couldn't live so far away. While it doesnt' compare to our Lengthy chats at Starbucks or dominating the FRIENDS game, it is soooo good to at least see their faces once or twice a week. Love you guys!
I need to go walk the boys.
Happy Fall Everybody!
cheers!
